Dosage9321,

It took me a hot minute to realise that they were talking about Twitter, lmao.

Dosage9321,

Why bother update, Window 12 is going to be out soon anyway.

Dosage9321,

Just buy the Steam Deck.

Dosage9321,

Not fast enough

Dosage9321,

Yeah…

I tried flatpak update -v with no luck. sudo flatpak repair and then reboot does not work either. flatpak uninstall --all it is. Then, I just used Déjà Dup to restore the app configurations, that I had backup.

Also. Thanks for recommending Flatsweep, that is the coolest thing I got out of all of this.

Dosage9321,

It is ok. The corruption happened because I was trying to revert to a back up on mass (restoring my entire Home directory)

Dosage9321,

But… I am on IOS

Anyone else starting to favor Flatpak over native packages?

I am currently using Linux Mint (after a long stint of using MX Linux) after learning it handles Nvidia graphics cards flawlessly, which I am grateful for. Whatever grief I have given Ubuntu in the past, I take it back because when they make something work, it is solid....

Dosage9321,

I do most things via flatpakk by default. It provide an aditional layer of reliability to the apps I use. When somehing goes wrong, with a new update or st like that, it would just break the app rather than my entire system. The sandboxing is definitely a plus when using something like WINE, as a lot of games/apps required a specific version of it. Managing them when they are installed natively is really stressful, since mistake there can break you system as well. All of these Flatpak benefits is doublely important when I recommend Linux to less tech-savy people, i.e. my cousin/mom.

Nevertheless, there are apps that have worse-that-native flatpak version, or required to be native to be full-featured (system configuration, i.e. Dconf).

Dosage9321,

Gandalf have no answer to the power of sudo… for better and for worse

Dosage9321,

I am 5 years in, and that is still what I do most of the times

Dosage9321,

Finally, I can bing the whole thing in one go. It was such an effort to avoid any spoiler the past months

Dosage9321,

Haaaa le lu ya

Dosage9321,

If you are just starting out. It is best to go with something cheap, but with the important features, which is bed-meshing. It does not really matter who you are buying it from, because unless it is a Prusa, after-sale support will all be spotty or non-existing.

Personally, I got the Ender 3 S1 as my first printer, for $300. The hardware works well and simple enough. But it is the kind of thing you have to tinker with, before it can become reliable. Within the first 3 days, I had to switch to Prusa Slicer; because Creality’s slicer does not have the features I need. And, by the end of the week, I had to update the firmware to the open-source “pro” version; because the built-in firmware does not allow me to easily tram the bed or adjust the bed mesh, which cause me hours of troubleshooting and tons of failed print. After that it is all good.

The next big thing right now is not the CoreXY motion system, it is auto-z-calibration (or auto-first-layer), which meant you don’t need to do the weird paper trick every 2-5 prints. The cheapest machine that have that is the Bambu Lab P1P. The next one up (in term of price) is the Prusa MK4. The trade-out between the 2 is that the Prusa have a good track record of support, while Bambu Lab is cheaper and faster.

Dosage9321,

This is bizarre, I never thought that the Japan would be the first on anything software related, given their track record in the pass 10 years. But, I guess the internet world of 2005, that the Japanese are living in is the better than what we have today.

Overwatch 2 on linux

I just noticed that the recently updated version of Battle.net cannot be installed correctly on PopOS anymore. I can still launch and play Overwatch 2 with a previously installed version. However, if I try to install it from scratch, it would get installed but won't run in the foreground. There is a background process and there...

Dosage9321,

I do. Not the pre-installed version but the full-suite flatpak. That version is far more up-to-date, in exchange for being a much bigger package. There is not much to learn really, if all you need is the basic. One key tip is to make sure you have all the MS fonts. The way I did it was to use a Windows PC (or a VM) to copy the font folder, which I then imported to my linux box. Whether you can migrate to it depends entirely on how you want to share documents. If you want to have live-collaboration, then LibreOffice is a no go and you will have to stick with whatever your collaborators are using for best compatible. However, if someone sent you a .docx, .xlsx, etc. file for editing, it should be OK most of the times, and you can always just go back to the free web interface of Microsoft365 or Google if needed.

GNOME Wayland vs. X.Org Performance For Radeon & NVIDIA Gaming On Ubuntu 23.04 (www.phoronix.com)

Interesting results, in a nutshell it seems like Wayland/Xwayland performance on both nVidia and AMD wins slightly more than it loses. Once VRR is live in nVidia 545 series driver, for 3D games, Wayland is looking to deliver a great experience. Performance when Wine's Wayland code is ready to mainline will be very interesting...

Dosage9321,

I assumed that is because Wayland is at a point where devs are targeting it rather than X.Org now.

Dosage9321,

The number of communities are a lot smaller for sure. But the ones I need are here; i.e. Iinux gaming, popos, anime, hentai.

Dosage9321,

Because I didn’t know what I was doing, and just posted on the first place I could. Which happened to be under pop os, as I was sent over by them.
